First day of May! We saw our first little white butterflies fluttering about today. They look exactly like the ones we see in the states in spring! ;) Imagine that. haha.

Mike and I went running last night. You'd be impressed with Mike. He kept right up. We generally run at different paces with me leading and Mike trailing. I think it's because he could care less about meeting a time goal..he just runs to enjoy the run. Which is great! I'm more on competing against myself I guess. Anyway, last night Mike ran right there with me and we both came in just over 12 minutes for four laps. It really isn't a bad time. (Four laps is about 1.6 miles). I'm happy with it. The new shoes definitely make a difference. This is the first time we've tried them out on the track. Mike attributed his increased speed to his shoes since his back didn't start hurting right away. I also noticed less pain in my shins. So - the shoes get an A+!

It seems like half the office is out sick now. Jason has yet to come in and Ryan was out half the day. If it's half as bad as Ryan and Jason make it out to be, I don't want to get it.

What else can I talk about? Mmm. I have a bad case of the munchies! They've plagued me all day. It doesn't help that there is a basket full of treats sitting right behind me. I would have to say that's the only drawback of my new desk position. I'm right next to the treats. I have very little willpower and a mega-sweettooth so being next to the treats is a very bad thing. I'm not kidding when I say I have a sweet problem. Mike has the chocolate locked up in a footlocker in our room because if it was open access we wouldn't have any chocolate...
